It is not the organization's tracked content.\n\n## Library workflow\n\n1. **Search**: map the niche to `verticals`, the style to `formats`, the opening to `hookArchetypes`, the product to `productTypes`; put the user's actual question in plain words into `search` (it searches transcripts, on-screen text, scenes, hooks, brands and creators). Pass `languages` for the language in the video (for example `[\"de\"]` for German UGC; omitted searches every language). Start with `limit` 12 to 24. Filter values are in `references/library-filters.md`.\n2. **Rank for the question**: `sort: \"outlier\"` for videos that beat their account's follower count (\"punch above their weight\"), `\"views\"` for reach, `\"engagement\"`, `\"latest\"` for post date, `\"recent\"` (default) for what the library added last. Leave `dateRange` at `all` unless recency is the question.\n3. **Read the results**: every result carries `formatPrimary`, `hookArchetype`, `hookTextOverlay`, `whyItWorked` and `replicationTip`. Group by format and hook yourself; one search usually answers the question.\n4. **Go deeper** on a handful of standouts only: `get_viral_video_insights` (hook timing, psychological trigger, retention, CTA mechanic, persona, scenes). `find_similar_viral_videos` with a result's `id` when the user likes one example and wants more of that kind.\n5. Say facet values in plain words (\"curiosity gap\", not `curiosity_gap`).\n\n## Own videos with AI\n\n`analyze_video` watches one tracked video (`platform` + `platformVideoId` from `get_top_videos`, `list_videos` or `get_video`) and answers a `prompt`, optionally into an `outputSchema` (for example hook, first-3-seconds description, on-screen text, CTA, score). Quote first, get approval, then call with `confirm: true`. To compare several videos, quote the total, then call once per video and synthesize.\n\n## From findings to hooks and a brief\n\n1. Cluster what works into 3 to 5 patterns (format + hook + proof), each with 2 or 3 example videos and why they work.\n2. Write hooks for the user's product per pattern: the first spoken line, the on-screen text, and the first visual.\n3. Draft a brief in markdown (template in `references/hooks-to-brief.md`). Hand off to `creator-campaigns`: `create_brief` with `notify: false`, then `add_brief_sample_videos` with the chosen library videos (`libraryVideoId`, `orgrsv_` ids) and labels such as \"Hook: POV notification\".\n\n## Presenting\n\nIn clients with UI, show examples with a `videos` card (up to 12) built from the search results. Pass each result's library `id` (`orgrsv_…`) so the card opens the library's detail sheet:\n\n```json\n{ \"card\": \"videos\", \"title\": \"Study apps: curiosity-gap hooks\", \"videos\": [\n    { \"platform\": \"tiktok\", \"platformVideoId\": \"7419876543210987654\", \"id\": \"orgrsv_AbCdEf123456\",\n      \"accountUsername\": \"studywithmia\", \"caption\": \"POV: the app that finally made me study\",\n      \"thumbnailUrl\": \"https://...\", \"viewCount\": 2400000, \"likeCount\": 310000 } ] }\n```\n\nFor the organization's own videos (from `get_top_videos`, `list_videos`) set `tracked: true` instead of `id`. A split by format or hook works as `chart-pie` (one series, 2 to 12 slices) or `chart-bar`; shapes in `viral-app-mcp/references/cards.md`. In terminal clients, a table with link, format, hook, views and why it worked.\n"
